Creating a custom link using the Action Wizard

$

Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me.

 

I would like to create an action, using the Action Wizard, to make custom links. I work with extremely large PDF documents at a major airline. I am in charge of watermarking and linking all support manuals for the airplanes. We have a custom watermark that we apply to particular pages, and also link them to updated pages on our own private server. I think the linking process could be made faster with a custom action.

 

Currently I use this code:

 

app.launchURL("CODE", true)

 

The "code" is the web address of the document online. This works fine, however, I still have to click the link button, reposition the link, and edit the code for the particular page. Then I have to do that hundreds of times a week.

 

I'd like a link action, where I can click one button and the link is perfectly drawn and placed in the exact location I require (this never changes; The link is always the same size and in the same location). I'd like this to work the same as my custom watermark action works. With my watermark action, I simply specified where the watermark went on the page, what type size, color, etc. using javascript. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with a link; Simply state what diminsions the link box needs to be and where it's located on the page.

 

If this is possible, I'd be able to do both in one click; Apply my watermark with a link box already drawn on top of it. Then all I'd need to do is edit the link with the web address of the file I'm linking to.

 

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Matthew~
